Bungee Jumping in Rishikesh

Bungee Jumping in Rishikesh: Bungee Jumping is a very exciting sport which means to jump from a tall structure with the help of an elastic cord attached to you. The tall structure may be a building, crane or bridge. The adventure sports companies also build artificial horizontal platform to jump down to have the experience of bungee jumping. The bungee Jumping can also be done with the help of movable objects like hot air balloon or helicopter. The principal behind the bungee Jumping is the dissipation of kinetic energy through the elastic cord hence no harm to the jumper who dives down and bounces back after reaching the last point of the cord length. The cord stretches and recoils back and keeps oscillating until the jumper reaches to stability. In some other countries the Bungee word is also spelled bungy.

The Bungee word meant “Anything thick and squat” but later in 1930, the meaning became used for a rubber erase. The origin of the word may mean anything but the reference to this sport means jumping from a height with the help of an elastic cord.
